| The FLY NAVY FEDERATION (FNF) is an umbrella organisation in which the RNSESA is one of twelve Associations that have come together under one banner to maintain contact with each other and to assist each other when appropriate. The concept is also to tap into the wealth of knowledge and experience of former FAA members in order to help and support the current serving force to remain strong and independent in the face of some very radical changes over the next few years. The FNF is thus a loose alliance working towards the same common goal whilst maintaining the autonomy of each association.
Other member Associations are:
FAA Field Gun Assc.
FAA Armourer's Assc.
FAA Buccaneer Assc.

APPLY FOR HM ARMED FORCES LAPEL BADGE
|  |
| The UK Armed Forces Veterans’ Lapel Badge was launched in May 2004 by the Minister of Veterans, to raise the profile of veterans by assisting the wider public to recognise them.
The first veterans badge was issued to Lord Healy, a veteran of the Battle for Monte Cassino, on 10 May 2004, which initiated the roll out of the badge to the Second World War veteran generation. Since then eligibility to apply for the badge has been extended in sequential phases to all veterans. This has now closed the gap between those who apply for their badge and those who receive it automatically on leaving the Services.
The badge is an enamelled, engraved, and pinned, lapel badge featuring the words “HM Armed Forces – Veteran”, which encompass the Tri-Service, Anchor, Crossed Swords and Eagle
motif. Its symbolism is intended to unite all veterans in recognising the commonality of their service, to encourage a sense of unity and community between surviving veterans and to ignite public recognition of current veterans and their continuing contribution to society.
Eligibility Criteria
All those who have served in HM Armed Forces.
Exceptions
Veterans who served in Armed Forces of other Countries and those who served alongside HM Armed Forces are not eligible (e. g. Canadian Navy or Royal Australian Air Force).
Posthumous requests
The badge is a survivors badge and therefore is not issued posthumously.
The only exceptions are War Widows and Widowers who are in
receipt of a War Widows/Widowers Pension paid by the Service Personnel and Veterans Agency. This is in recognition of the fact that their death was due to their military service.
